I would have to agree again. I've been automating a lot of database related updates as well as using it for general Win32 system administration. The automation projects have saved me literally months of work that would have been done 'by hand' by anyone else. As it stands now, there's a lot of work on the TODO list involving perl - enough that I don't have to worry about not having anything to do for a long time.

I'm the only one in my group that does Perl at all, but that doesn't stop me from trying to interest those around me. One day they'll have to bite the bullet and learn it as I can't do this by myself forever.
